商品簡介
Despite the popular assumption that wildlife conservation is a
recent phenomenon, it emerged over a century and a half ago in an era
more closely associated with wildlife depletion than preservation.
However, as Darcy Ingram shows in this groundbreaking book, some of
these early strategies were not as forward-focused as they appear.
Wildlife, Conservation, and Conflict in Quebec shows how the
British elite of that province based its wildlife strategies on
traditional systems of European land tenure and estate management. It
was the longstanding belief in progress, improvement, and social order
that underpinned the development of some of the wildlife conservation
strategies we are familiar with today. Spanning the 1840s up until the
outbreak of the First World War, this book traces the emergence of a
lease-based regulatory system that blended elite forms of sport and
conservation. Applied first to British North America's prized
salmon rivers, this system came to encompass the bulk of Quebec's
hunting and fishing territories. Inspired by a longstanding belief in
progress, improvement, and social order based on European as well as
North American models, this system effectively privatized
Quebec's fish and game resources, often to the detriment of
commercial and subsistence hunters and fishers. A valuable resource for
environmental historians, this book will also appeal to scholars and
students of Canadian, American, and British history and environmental
studies.
